The internet's mostly been about psuedonymity; the *chans have been the main bastions of full anonymity. There's still a place for establishing a psuedonym disconnected from your offline identity to various degrees, but with a history and a reputation of its own. (viz. me; I have a comment history and a karma score, and it wouldn't be too hard to get a sense of my identity here and on reddit; but I believe it'd be a non-trivial exercise to determine my offline identity even with a lot of googling and tools like Maltego).
